The Relationship of Females with Sexual Dysfunctions to Different Sex Positions

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between different sex positions and female sexual dysfunction. This comparative and descriptive study was conducted at a hospital in a province in Eastern Turkey between March 2019 - June 2019. The data were collected using the "Personal Data Form" and "Female Sexual Function Index/FSFI" via the closed envelope technique to protect the participants' privacy. The study was conducted with 184 women. Number, mean, percentage distribution, and ANOVA tests were used to evaluate the data. The total mean score of the FSFI was determined to be 18.03 +/- 4.17. When examining the mean scores of the sexual function index in terms of sex position, a statistically significant difference was found between both the FSFI total score and its subscales and all positions (p = 0.00). It was observed that based on the scores of the FSFI, the women had a form of sexual dysfunction and had higher mean scores in Desire, Arousal, Lubrication, Orgasm, and Satisfaction in the overall scale of female-on-top positions, and their mean scores for pain subscale were lower.
